SILVER BUGLE

FROM THE PRESIDENT -

Greetings to all,

In my first article as president of our club, 1 stated
that 1 had some big shoes to fill as president and
that 1 would follow up with more about past presi¬
dents.

As you probably know, 1ASAC was founded in
1985 Ed Lantz was named the first president (1985-1986). At the club’s
second convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, Will Rossman was elected. Thirty-
three ballots were cast and the election was certified by Charlie Diehl and
Ed Lantz. Duane Spellman was elected club histonan.

The return address for the bugle moved from Colorado (Will Rossman)
to Canoga Park, California in 1987 (Duane Spellman). Duane was editor
until his death July 25, 2002. Nancy Yee was appointed editor by the club
officers following Duane’s demise and has done all coordination of the
publication since 1989 Therefore, she was the logical one to have the title
and responsibility. You must agree she does an excellent job.

In the January 1988 issue, Will Rossman resigned as of December 31 ,
1987, to give full attention to his ANA job. Duane Spellman basically ran
the club until the fall of 1989, when Steve Rood came on board as presi¬
dent at the Denver convention. Steve served until 1995 as president He
has been the longest serving president to date in continuous years.

Jim Best served until 1997. Michelle Burke became president until
2001 . Dougjennings served from 2001 until he decided not to run for re-
election in 2003. Jim Best was elected at the Denver convention in 2003.

When I was asked to run, 1 was told that most of the work was done
by our seccretary/treasurer, Nancy 1 think all past presidents will agree
that she is the glue that keeps the Bugle thriving - thanks, Nancy

1 was elected to serve as president in 2005 and as you can see, I have
some big heavy-hitters to look back on and try to emulate And thanks
again to Nancy for putting the above information in chronological order
for me.

Don’t forget the Tucson meeting (October 27-29) and gel your order in
for our club round.

V

Thanks,

Archie Kidd

It has been a fairly relaxing summer, with lots of sunshine, swimming
and baseball. We ‘endured’ a trip to Honolulu in June, and have been
tracking our daughter and a friend as they trek across Europe We’re
anxious to have them back home to hear about many exciting adventures,
including the World Cup in Berlin, Lake Lucerne, Florence, the Amalfi
coast, Rome, Pans, Amsterdam, & London! Sounds wonderful, but 1
don't know if Ld still be willing to do it with a backpack!!

Steve Album and I have been bantering back and forth on email about
the weather. He survived a long string of days of 100+ degree weather
without air conditioning, while 1 was complaining of 90+ degrees for
four-five days Made me sound like a wimp! Sitting in my stuffy office,
trying to get this Bugle out.

Plans for our meeting in Tucson are set. Well meet at 10am on
Saturday, October 28 in the Agate Suite, adjacent to the Copper
Ballroom at the Tucson Convention Center. The street address is 260 S.
Church Avenue. The Hotel Arizona (520-624-871 1 ) is hosting the event,
with special rates for the coin show at $79/night. Also nearby is the
Clarion Hotel & Suites (520-622-1 120).

Our 2006 club round is selling very well Thanks to the press release sent
to the trade papers, we have garnered a fair number of orders. Please get
yours in soon, if you’d like to have your club number on your round
The final order will be sent to SilverTowne in the next couple of weeks.

I’m sure you wouldn’t want to miss this particular issue in your
collection It’s a real beauty ! Thanks again to Daniel Carr for his
wonderful design.

1 have nominated Michelle & Garrett Burke for the Duane Spellman
Award Michelle is a super cheerleader for the club, and has served as
club President Garrett has designed and printed numerous club
brochures, updating the round & bar listing on a yearly basis. He has
gladly donated his time and skill to this endeavor For this reason, 1

think they should be considered for this award. If anyone else has a
nomination, please send it to Archie Kidd or Harvey Chew at the club
address no later than September 1.

I deleted sixteen members for non-payment of dues. After three letters, 1
guess it's time to give up on them. Their names were listed in the last
issue, and one person was left off the list. Please remove Pam Martin
#592.

One name I'd have preferred not to remove was Vi Asher's. I met her
and Phil at the Sacramento show in 2000. They have done so much to
promote the club, and brought in many new members, including most of
our international ones. Vi struggled with cancer, and simply didn’t make
it. I’ve sent condolences to Phil on behalf of tire club, and if any of you
would like to send a card. I’ll forward them on to Phil

Brain Teasers is on vacation. We’re plumb out of prizes1 Anyone
willing to donate will be heartily thanked in upcoming issues of this
publication!

Enjoy the rest of your summer & keep cool!

Hope to see many of you in Tucson!

Price of Silver Contest Winners Announced! ~

Trustee Tom Clark had a great idea last winter He donated two silver
bars to whoever would correctly predict the price of silver at the close of
business on June 30, 2006. We had quite a few guesses, and it was made
even more interesting by the wild fluctuation in precious metal pnces.
Predictions ranged from a low of $8 32 to a high of $37.50 On June 30,
Tom checked with several sources and closing pnces were $10.83 &
$10.97. Club member Mike Zielinkski came closest with a prediction of
S 1 0.42 and Ron Webster was runner-up with a guess of $10.23. Their
prizes were in the mail several weeks ago. Thanks to everyone who
participated in this fun contest, including Chuck Luce, Lynnae Clark,
Laila Taavola, Phyllis & Wayne damn, Stephanie O’Neil & Vemon
Baker.

^ Do Serial-Numbered Bars Denote Low Mintage?

By Stephanie O’Neil, club histonan

We read about serial-numbered bars and the role they play or do not play
regarding high volume R-5 bars

What about serial-numbered bars with low mintages'7 Are most low mintage
bars serial-numbered or do most serial-numbered bars have low mintage9 The
answers are shown in numbers* 1

The following chart is a comparison by breakdown of the number of bars with
low mintage - both serial-numbered and non serial -numbered, and the total
number ot bars with or without serial-numbering Look at the ratio

I decided to count the number of bars with a mintage of over 2500, both serial-
numbered and non serial-numbered Look at this breakdown
There are 1557 serial-numbered bars with a mintage of over 2500 There are
y420 non serial-numbered bars with a mintage of over 2500

As you can see, there are more serial-numbered bars than non-serial numbered
ones with mintages of fewer than 2500, with the highest amount of serial-
numbered bars having the lowest mintage (1-200)

f The total number of all serial-numbered bars listed is 2936 Of those, 2423 are'N

In doing this research, 1 stumbled on a few other interesting facts

Madison Mint produced 562 bars from 1972 to 1991 Of those bars, only 15
were serial-numbered SilverTowne minted 171 bars from 1973 to 1991 Of
those, only 4 bars were serial-numbered

There is a lot of fun in numbers as numbers can provide a different way of
looking at our treasured art bar collections'

Great Silver CSNA Medal Find at June 2006
Long Beach Show

By Don Barsi, I AS AC # 060

After amving at the Long Beach Coin Show on June 1, 2006, I quickly traveled
around the coin show looking for Medals and Tokens I had already looked at a
nice CSNA (California State Numismatic Assn ) medal group which a dealer
had saved for me to purchase Then 1 found a 1964-sterling- 925 fine, 40mm
CSNA medal which had serial number 6 This medal even had a pedigree to
Kenneth W Lee, who wrote the first work on California Fractional Gold In the
little plastic box which held this rare coin club medal, was a note from Lee
saying that serial-number 6 was given to him by General Chairman Herb
Bergen at the coin show held at Disneyland in Anaheim, CA, October 22-25,
1964

This is the rarest of all the silver CSNA medals in the series which started in
1964 Bill Wislead was the medal chairman and he had sold 35 medals, and had
15 medals left to sell later, but someone burglarized his home and stole all the
rest of these 15 medals 1 was able to obtain a stolen one at the Santa Clara
Expos Show some time ago The printed side had been planed off and the serial
number was etched, but could be removed The ‘sterling silver' notation was
also missing Now, 1 have both varieties to add to my silver CSNA collection
V What a Great Find1 ^

Jan’s sentiments are echoed by George Brooks, who says, "I really like this

to me.”

And Chuck Luce writes, “Excellent design on the '06 medal We wish the trip
to the show was possible, but neither of us is up to it yet ”

Rob Bongiovanni writes, “I don’t really like rounds - I’m more a bar person -
but this one looks truly beautiful! Thank you - Great Job"

come into good use I see that there are a few slates with no members Maybe
soon we’ll have someone in every state.”

Alan Robinson emailed with the highlights of his recent trip to the U S He
says, ”1 thought I was fit??? My mind has been changed on that point, after
seven different planes, one helicopter flight, two cruises, a number of taxi rides
and approximately 2800 miles in a bus with temperatures starting at 84 degrees
in Denver to over 104 in Las Vegas Twenty days later we had one nice day in
San Francisco at only 76.”

Alan's adventure began in Denver His tour guide was Roger Himes, a man
very dedicated to the history of the western U S Himes is a retired lawyer who
also sings and plays guitar, and toured in the 60’s with John Denver
The tour took Alan thru Denver to Cheyenne and the Black Hills of South
Dakota At Custer, Wyoming they had drinks at the Gold Pan Saloon Alan
says, “It had six inches of sawdust on the floor - nice to see some people try ing
to keep the past going as it used to be.”

Alan also saw Mt. Rushmore, and the brawling mining towm of Deadwood
where Jack McCall murdered Will Bill Hickok during a poker game One
night’s stay was in Buffalo Bill's frontier town of Cody, Wyoming
Alan says of Yellowstone National Park, “You can not explain to people what
you see, magic.” And the Grand Teton’s are "out of this world "

Heading further west, the tour took them thru Salt Lake City and Bryce & Zion
National Parks Alan comments, “Very nice to see mile after mile of sagebrush,
having seen it so many times in the cowboy films."

Alan took a helicopter flight into the Grand Canyon for a champagne breakfast,
invested wisely in Las Vegas and enjoyed several nights in San Francisco,
where one highlight was a taxi ride up the street where Steve McQueen did the
Qmous car chase in Bullitt. His favorite memory is of seeing a mountain lion in

Should IASAC Issue an Album?

By Tony Irvin, IASAC #572

Is there any interest in making a round and bar album for IASAC yearly
issues? New pages could easily be added for future club issues Of
course, a lot of club members would have empty spaces in their IASAC
collector album due to the limited mintages each year It would be nice
for me to bring my disorganized IASAC collection together
Occasionally back issues do come up for sale 1 acquired the first issue
(IASAC- 1) last year. Recently 1 was able to purchase IASAC-2, the
White Bengal Tiger, a beautiful ammai round. Speaking of which, the
2006 club issue (Gila monster) is a MUST HAVE animal round. The
picture of this round looks great 1 am sure that this will be quick sell¬
out. (Probably faster than some IASAC bar issues sell out!)

We 'll do some chec king and gel hack to you, Tony. Is anyone else interested??
Please reply to the dub P.O. Box number. Thanks

For their current articles in The Silver Bugle, Don Barsi and Tony
Irvin will each receive a 2006 bronze Oila monster round. All
contributors to this year's Bugle will be similarly rewarded !

There is a mute who wants to buy a toothbrush By imitating the action of
brushing one’ s teeth, he successfully expesses himself to the shopkeeper and the

What Do You Do All Day? •

From Jean Luce

A man came home from work and found his three children outside, still in their
pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all
around the front yard

The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house, and
there was no sign of the dog Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger
mess A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against
one wall

In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family
room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing

In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter,
the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass
lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door

He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes,
looking for his wife He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious
had happened

He was met with a small trickle of water as it made its way out the bathroom
door

As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn
over the floor Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been
smeared over the mirror and walls

As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her
pajamas, reading a novel She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day
went He looked at her bewildered and asked, “What happened here today7”

She again smiled and answered, “You know every day when you come home
from work and you ask me what in the world

“Yes," was his incredulous reply

She answered, “Well, today I didn’t do it.”

I do all day?”
